Therapy is seen as a collaboration between client and therapist in discovering new and preferred ways to be in the world. I believe that every person has the innate ability to move toward health and healing and has the capacity to achieve it. My approach is to work in partnership with clients to identify what their goal is and how they want to approach making changes.

I am certified in EMDR and a Consultant in Training for EMDR. I have trained in a broad range of therapies including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, brief-focused therapy, advanced treatment in hypnotherapy, multi-phased trauma treatment, attachment, Narrative Therapy, and couples . All of our experiences create patterns with our emotions, beliefs, behaviors, and our bodies. These procedural learning patterns can cause us become more anxious, depressed, reactive and/or feel 'stuck' in our lives. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and EMDR provide effective ways to resolve both trauma and other powerful events that have impacted on our ability to pursue goals and happiness. EMDR is an adaptive information processing treatment that is effective for a broad range of psychological, emotional, and physiological issues. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach to process unassimilated sensorimotor responses to trauma and assist in assimilating these experiences both cognitively and emotionally. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people construct about their lives. Our stories inform us on how to act, think, and be in the world. These stories can be enabling and empowering or dominating and destructive. In my experience, an integrative approach to treatment is effective in alleviating the distress caused by trauma and other life events that otherwise can limit us experiencing our full potential.
